ykurtov··on Apple CEO Presses Software Chief to Pursue More Ambitious AI Strategy
oh, right. thanks for the clarification. I can understand that it might have come from a certain, limited exposure to the tsardom, but it's still is kind of f*cked up considering the state of Russian Empire at any stage of existence. Especially during the first czar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_the_Terrible

Aren’t you guys going to be one of the only two software developers employees in the nearest future? And autogenerate all software?

Then you can have it your way :))

I don’t get why journalists keep calling appointed bureaucrats “czars”.

That absolute power fetish begun in second Trump term and didn’t seem to age well.

Do they expect any of those czars to kill any of their children to protect their position?

Fair enough, some of US czars actually had their private firing squads. And they did kill people at their will. And remained unpunished.

But for the love of the people I wouldn’t bow to people like Bovino in a tech article.

Anyways, I can’t imagine that’s what US people want.

We dreamt it in the context of solved social problems. At least I did. And those people are enabling man slaughter for profit.

There is also that point and a an even so slight correction that it’s a hovering car at best.

Ha ha, indeed. The amount of tone deafness here is astonishing. If we pause to think about it - LLM advices the author to stop ruining the internet for profit and he's not happy because he can't automate the platform enshitiffication.

Which he then go and announce to the whole Internet.

At which he successfully lands on his feet after the mental backflip - converting into content the story how we was not able to generate a content.

Marvellous persistence.

This is pure gold.

ykurtov··on cURL removes bug bounties
It's really hard to comprehend how entitled "reward which would be the cost of lunch in Sweden can be massive for those low socio-economic-located people" is.

A lunch in central Stockholm is well within 200 kronor. I can't imagine a country where an person with a computer and skills necessary to claim a bounty in cURL would consider that amount massive.

Get real.

I've recently been frustrated with the trajectory of UK political discourse and therefore a some form of art therapy was in order.

I started to use it right when it was released, long time before any LLM integration.

But fair point anyways.
